        Verdict

        Market Rasen maiden hurdle winner Sea Mark struggled in this company at the same track subsequently and may do so again, especially as there was no encouragement from his latest effort back on the flat. Of more interest could be the George Moore-trained Avebury who showed improved form at Perth last month. There could be more to come from the son of Fairy King. Huntingdon selling handicap winner Pailitas and Taffs Well, who ran too badly to be true on his most recent start over hurdles are others to consider.
